CLEANING AND CARING FOR

YOUR VEHICLE

Refer to the “Customer Assistance

Guide” for a list of Ford-approved

cleaners, polishes and waxes.

Washing your vehicle

Wash your vehicle regularly with

cold or lukewarm water. Never use

strong detergents or soap. If your

vehicle is particularly dirty, use a

quality car wash detergent. Always

use a clean sponge, washing glove

or similar device and plenty of

water for best results. To avoid

spots, avoid washing when the

hood is still warm, immediately

after or during exposure to strong

sunlight.

During winter months, it is

especially important to wash the

vehicle on a regular basis. Large

quantities of dirt and road salt are

difficult to remove and also cause

damage to the vehicle. Remove any

exterior accessories, such as

antennas, before entering a car

wash.

After washing, apply the brakes

several times to dry them.

Waxing your vehicle

Wax when water stops beading on

the surface. This could be every

three or four months, depending

on operating conditions.
